Help Change incoming text message display

[akabeko]

Hi guys!

Massive newbie here so I apologie for the simple question.

I am trying to change the text message alert on my HTC legend. Currently when I receive a new message you can see the beginning of the text from the lock screen and I just want the simple alert / icon combo.

Tried trawling thru settings and searching the forum but can't figure it out!

Thanks very much

I'd like this too, though in the last 2 months or so of ownership I've not come across a solution .

the only way i have found to turn it off is in the messaging settings to turn off received notifications, but then you don't get a status bar notification, or any notification at all.
